This is a book about present-day United States senators, who they are, how they behave, and why they behave the way they do.
It is not an "inside story" of the Senate, at least not in the lurid, "now it can be told" tradition. It is neither an attack

interviews with United States senators, Senate staff members, lobbyists, and Washington journalists. - Preface

3) was included as a control group for comparison and a sample of Black students (Part 1) was interviewed with an aim to projecting

views on Black leadership, effectiveness of Black organizations, attitudes of White leaders and officials, the effect of electoral
laws on Black participation, perceptions of the major parties, party identification, and feelings on race relations were also
assessed. The questions asked of both adult samples are identical, and the data may be used for comparative purposes. Demographic
data include age, sex, level of education, primary and secondary occupations, religious preference, and family income ...

The patent describes an air manifold which is mounted in a file cabinet and provided with air-jet orifices arranged to direct
air jets onto the bottom edge region of file folders stored in the cabinet. Means, such as a squib-activated oxidizer sheet,
also are mounted in the cabinet in position to ignite the bottom edges of the folder. The system as a whole operates as a
gravity-feed furnace by injecting the high velocity air jets at the bottom of the burning files and, as the bottom surfaces
are consumed, the file contents fall into the region of rapid combustion
